Some articles and conversations I experienced recently, sparked thoughts in the space between my ears. Should we focus on looking for a job or creating business opportunities?

Looking at the economy and the way corporations operate, few people work 20-25 years at one place then retire. More people are changing or looking for a new job frequently. The Secret Santa you have at work this year, is likely working somewhere else in the next two years.
The reason for changing jobs are varied, with technology often playing a role in many cases. The same technological advances can make starting a business or changing careers easy for people willing to take a chance. The unfortunate truth is most people lack the patience to take the risk. They want to make $100,000 a year out the gate. That is highly unlikely. But the reward of turning a thought in your head into a tangible item outside of it, is immeasurable.

Think back to the first time you were given a few dollars for helping wash the car, for carrying a lady’s bags to her car, or walking a neighbor’s dog. You thought you were rich. Combine that with the first thing you made in school. I’m sure you were smiling proudly for days. Now picture yourself as an adult with people seeking you because you are great at whatever your mind says you can do. Just picture it.
